🇨🇭 Cogwheel Train Ride to Mt Rigi
During our time in Lucerne, we visited Mount Rigi, often called the "Queen of the Mountains," as the journey was included with the Swiss Rail Travel Pass.
Our adventure began with a 30-minute train ride from Lucerne's main station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. From there, we boarded a cogwheel train that provided a stunning, scenic ascent to the summit of Mount Rigi.
The cogwheel train is particularly fascinating due to its use of a toothed rack rail system in the center of the track, enabling it to navigate steep gradients that standard trains cannot handle.

Cool Rigi mountain
My recent hiking trip to Rigi Mountain was an unforgettable adventure filled with stunning natural beauty and exhilarating trails. Known as the “Queen of the Mountains,” Rigi offers a diverse range of hiking paths that cater to all levels of hikers, from beginners to seasoned trekkers.
The journey started with a scenic train ride up the mountain, which provided incredible views of the surrounding lakes and peaks. The well-maintained train added a comfortable and enjoyable start to the hike.
Once on the trails, the experience only got better. The paths are clearly marked and offer a variety of terrains, from lush meadows to dense forests, each segment revealing more of the breathtaking landscape. The panoramic views from the summit were simply spectacular, with a 360-degree vista of the Swiss Alps and the shimmering lakes below.
Along the way, we encountered charming alpine huts where we could take a break and enjoy some local Swiss delicacies. The friendly locals and fellow hikers added a wonderful social element to the journey.#switzerland #rigi
🇨🇭 It's snowing in Mt Rigi! ❄️🌨️🏔️
We visited Mount Rigi, which is often referred to as the "Queen of the Mountains", while we were in Lucerne since the journey was included in Swiss Rail Travel Pass.
We first took a train from Lucerne's main train station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. The train ride took approximately 30 minutes. From Arth-Goldau, we took a cogwheel train which offered a scenic ascent to the top of Mount Rigi.
The summit of Mount Rigi offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Swiss Alps on a clear day. However, it was snowing on the day of our visit. Nonetheless, we had fun playing with snow too!
